Ingredients

2: cups fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch-long pieces

1: tablespoon olive oil

1: pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch pieces

1: tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or thyme

2: cups sliced yellow summer squash and/or zucchini

1: can (15 oz) Progresso® cannellini beans (white kidney beans), drained and rinsed

1/4: cup Progresso® reduced-sodium chicken broth

6: cloves garlic, minced

1: cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1: tablespoon chopped fresh basil or flat-leaf parsley

1/4: teaspoon kosher salt

1/4: teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1 In a covered medium saucepan, cook green beans in a small amount of boiling salted water for 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain; submerge beans in enough ice water to cover and let stand until cool. Drain again; set aside.
2 Meanwhile, in a very large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. In a large bowl, toss chicken with oregano. Add chicken to hot oil in skillet; cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
3 Add squash to skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Stir in chicken, green beans, cannellini beans, chicken broth, and garlic. Bring to boiling. Add tomatoes, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook about 1 minute or until heated through.

This was really good and so pretty, my whole family loved it. I used oregano and parsley and added a splash of white wine with the broth. Will be making again soon.

This is a wonderful meal. It does take some time to get the vegetables and spices prepared, but it's worth it. I used zucchini, thyme and parsley. I added a little Parmesan cheese before eating.

This was a very good meal and pretty easy to prepare. I might not include the tomatos next time because their flavor does not really go with teh flavors of the other components, however my husband didn't mind them. I would definitely reccomend this dish.
